The work

We are seeking to hire one or two intermediate level developers to contribute to the next versions of DayBack Calendar. This is mostly front-end development in Angular and straight up JS. The calendar connects to a number of different backends, so if REST is your thing, you could contribute there too.

Our requirements are flexible but our standards are high. We ask that you have excellent communication skills, a sense of curiosity, and keen attention to detail. Pride of craftsmanship and the ability to follow established design patterns are also important. Other nice-to-have skills include familiarity Firebase and/or Salesforce experience. (You don’t have to be familiar with our stack–it’s designed to get you up and running quickly–but if you want to see how we’re doing things we’ve described some of our tooling here: https://github.com/seedcode/vagrant-base-config)

What’s an intermediate JS developer?

You’ve likely worked on front-end JS projects before and this wouldn’t be your first job in tech. You can work in someone else’s code and extend their patterns without having to reinvent everything in a pattern you’re comfortable with (though when you have opinions about patterns you can argue for them). You may have used Angular 1x on a project before but Angular doesn’t need to be your thing. (Somehow there is less and less of it in our app every release.)

How to apply

Please send a note, your resume, and both work samples (below) to [email protected] along with any questions you may have.

Samples of your work

Software sample: We’d love to see some of your work, your side project, or whatever best represents where you’re at with JS.

Writing sample: Communication (and empathy) are the keys to building great tech. So we want to know that you can write well. If you’re blogging just send us a recent post you like. Otherwise, please send us a paragraph or two about some issue on which you’ve picked a side. This doesn’t have to be something you’re passionate about and it needn’t be political. It could even be a coding issue, or some mundane item you’ve changed your mind about. We find that we’re often laying out the pros and cons of competing approaches to our customers or team members, so we’d like your writing sample to do that for us: pick any topic you’d like, and help us decide between two options.

The work

We provide a lot of support to our Salesforce customers: consulting to help them visualize their schedules, and configuration support that includes writing formula fields, triggers, and flows. We also give a lot of demos and coach our customers about how to effectively map their workflow onto DayBack.

Folks who can do this are part coach, part Salesforce admin, part salesperson, and part developer. You’re technical customer champions and are comfortable wearing several hats and maintaining your own, often crowded, schedule. You may not know much JavaScript now, but you want to learn and will have the backing of the dev team here at SeedCode as they stretch your skills writing custom actions for DayBack. You’re looking forward to increasing your visibility in the Salesforce community and are eager to blog about your discoveries and customer successes, sharing those on social media and the Success Community at Salesforce.

We’re looking for excellent verbal and written communication, deep familiarity with Salesforce permissions, roles, and triggers. Plusses would be experience making visual force pages, writing tests, deploying managed packages, and JavaScript. And if you think sales is cool–just one person helping another get the help they need more quickly–that will serve you well.
